Battle of Jemappes

The Battle of Jemappes (6 November 1792) was a battle of the French Revolutionary Wars that occurred when the 43,000-strong French Army of the North under Charles Dumouriez attacked a substantially smaller Austrian army under Alberrt of Saxe-Teschen. The French launched a series of attacks against the Austrians, who managed to repel several attacks before deciding to withdraw after they ran out of ammunition. Jemappes was a costly victory for the French, and the French would occupy the Austrian Netherlands as a result of the victory.
